Shock As Woman Who Thought She Has Kidney Stones Gives Birth To Triplets


A South Dakota woman who recently gave birth to triplets says she didn’t find out about her pregnancy until she went to the hospital with what she thought were kidney stones.

KOTA-TV reports Dannette Giltz, of Sturgis, gave birth to the healthy triplets on Aug. 10.

“Started getting pains, figured it was kidney stones cause I went through them before,” Dannette Giltz.

Despite after two children previously, Giltz didn’t realize it, but she was going into labor and having triplets and had been pregnant for 34 weeks.

The triplets were born within four minutes. Each weighed about 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms)

“You don’t ever see triplets being conceived naturally, let alone going 34 weeks without knowing. So everyone’s like, ‘We can’t believe it.’ I am like, ‘We’re still in shock. Trust me, we know what you mean,'” Glitz said. She added, “It’s crazy.”


The triplets’ 10-year-old brother said this is a dream come true.

“I wished for a baby brother and a baby sister and I knew this day was always gonna come,” said Ronnie Giltz.

The triplets’ father is still in shock and can’t believe he has three newborn kids.

In the midst of this huge surprise, the triplets were named Blaze, Gypsy and Nikki.
